Closed Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMDNOPJOQ| The crimson dawn breaks through the clouded east | A |
| And waking breezes round the casement pipe | B |
| They blow the globes of dew from opening buds | C |
| And steal the odors of the sleeping flowers | D |
| The swallow calls its young ones from the eaves | E |
| To dart above their shadows on the lake | F |
| Till its long rollers redden in the sun | G |
| And bend the lances of the mirrored pines | H |
| Who knows the miracle that brings the morn | I |
| Still in my house I linger though the night | J |
| The night that hides me from myself is gone | K |
| Light robes the world but strips me bare again | L |
| I will not follow on the paths of day | M |
| I know the dregs within its crystal hours | D |
| The bearers of my cups have served me well | N |
| I drained them and the bearers come no more | O |
| Rise morning rise for those believing souls | P |
| Who seek completion in day's garish light | J |
| My casement I will close keep shut my door | O |
| Till day and night are only dreams to me | Q |
